That is not what ERPs are used for.
Would love to hear how AI is going to help here. This is like a young engineer thinking the CDC machine they just bought, is going to make Airbus and Boeing obsolete...

They’re a lot more than a data store or system whose primary value is ingesting info and producing reports.
For a lot of business, replacing the ERP is on par with replacing Excel. It’s not about getting the data into another system; it’s about all of the complexity and expertise required to use it.
I think that is one aspect but not the biggest issue.
The specific shape of data and shape of functionality gets built around for decades due to incompleteness of any system, expanding dependencies and changing business needs.
Decades of building around the system results in a mountain of work when trying to replace the system, typically a larger body of work than implementing the base system itself.
